A fur garment is a unique and delicate piece designed to last for many years when properly cared for.
Natural fur can be affected by moisture, heat, pressure and prolonged exposure to unsuitable environments. Following these simple guidelines will help preserve its softness, shape and appearance.
Avoid excessive moisture
Avoid exposing your fur to heavy rain or prolonged moisture. If your garment becomes slightly wet, gently shake off any excess water and allow it to dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Never use a hair dryer, radiator, heater or other direct source of heat to dry your fur. If the garment becomes heavily wet, we recommend taking it to a professional fur specialist.
Store it properly
When not wearing your fur, hang it on a wide, sturdy hanger that supports the shoulders and helps maintain the original shape.
Avoid:
- thin wire hangers
- folding the garment for long periods
- placing heavy garments on top of it
- storing it in a cramped wardrobe
Whenever possible, allow enough space around the garment so that the fur can breathe.
Keep away from heat
Prolonged exposure to heat can dry out the leather and affect the condition of the fur. Keep your garment away from:
- radiators
- fireplaces
- heaters
- direct sunlight
- strong artificial heat
Avoid perfume and cosmetics
Perfume, hairspray, deodorant, makeup and other cosmetic products may contain alcohol or oils that can affect both fur and leather.
We recommend applying perfumes and cosmetic products before putting on your fur, and allowing them to dry completely.
Cleaning
Do not wash, dry-clean or treat your fur at home unless specifically indicated for the particular garment. Natural fur requires specialized professional care.
For cleaning, conditioning or repairs, we recommend using a qualified professional furrier or a specialist experienced in caring for the specific type of fur.
Seasonal storage
When storing your fur for an extended period, keep it in a cool, dry and well-ventilated environment. Avoid airtight plastic bags, which can prevent adequate ventilation.
For long-term seasonal storage, professional fur storage is recommended, particularly in warm or humid climates.
